Yay! The stent is out!

Written as “Kidney Girl” on the original Cystinuria Blog · 1 min read

I woke up this morning and couldn't take the pain anymore, so I went to the emergency room at Stanford. I was given a thorough checkup and the on-call urology resident went ahead and took the stent out.

Then when I got home, I peed and the final stone came out - 3mm. I'm so happy and I feel like a normal human being again! Now work, thiola. Work!
